I have a strange problem with my ethernet card.
Simple ,i have not internet connection BUT on ifconfig command i got:
UP and RUNNING. ( i have static IP from my LAN )

The kernel was compiled with ethernet built in <*> instead "eepro100" module!

If i'll use the CD-install then there is no problem, my net connection is just fine.

Any idea?
Many Thanks

i appear to be having this problem also.

i've configured approx 235905098 kernels, and i've had gentoo on this machine before - i have an eepro100 and it works. but it's not picking it up for some reason when it boots up. works fine off the cd install.

That's what, three quintillion kernels a day for your entire life? I know that feeling.
Try rebuilding the kernel, or grabbing newer source - perhaps the source you built with had/has a confilict with something.

I did watever you said ..., I sent the computer to technical support because I think the net card is not OK ( it's build on motherboard ) and i took other computer
Now it's running

There seems to be several threads with people claiming stuff doesn't work quite right. Same here, my aic7xxx, eepro100, pdcraid (or just the pdc in general) works great on the install 1.1a cd, works great on the 2.4.18 w/ xfs sources but when I use the 2.4.19-gentoo sources everything gets munged pretty badly. aic7xxx dies horribly, the eepro100 loads but either locks up once I initialize it with ifconfig or it does initialize but no packets go in or come out, and my promise controller pukes and I loose my raid abilities. I've tried many diffrent ways to get the 2.4.19 working with everything and even made it bare bones just to test (no pre-empt or latancy options enabled ) and they still die. I do hope that when 2.4.19 gets out of development it is at least a bit more stable. Are there any workarounds you guys know of, other than adding the latency and pre-empt and xfs patches to plain vanilla 2.4.18? -- psi_________________Mindwerks
